In this episode of Norse Mentality, I sit down with Jack Donovan—author of The Way of Men and Fire in the Dark—to explore the art of self-creation and modern masculinity.


Donovan shares his personal journey of evolution, emphasizing how self-awareness, experimentation, and authenticity have shaped his path. We dive into the themes of Fire in the Dark, where Donovan explores the power of creating meaning in a chaotic world. He discusses how mythology, symbolism, and personal narratives can help guide men toward purpose, giving them a point of orientation when life feels uncertain.


The conversation also touches on the resurgence of primal competition and brotherhood. From open mat sessions to deep, philosophical discussions, Donovan reflects on how modern men are reconnecting with ancient traditions of self-discovery and personal challenge. We explore three essential masculine archetypes—the Sky Father, Striker, and Lord of the Earth—and how embodying all three can lead to a more grounded, balanced, and fulfilling life.


If you're looking to uncover deeper meaning, cultivate discipline, or strengthen your sense of purpose, this conversation provides practical insights to help guide your path.
